Chapter 1438 - 1440: The Child May... Be in Danger

That night when he left, Sophie sensed something amiss.

At that time, she didn’t think much of it, but these days his abnormal behavior has aroused her suspicion even more.

"Derek, find a way to pose as a buyer and trade with K Group. Make sure Thomas Shannon shows up." Sophie rubbed her chin; only by seeing Thomas Shannon in person could she judge if something had happened to him.

Derek hesitated slightly, not daring to tell her that His Highness Lucifer used the name Lawrence before to pose as a buyer to meet Thomas Shannon...

"Yes, Miss Cecilia Branford." After a few seconds of hesitation, Derek agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Sophie felt uneasy and paced back and forth, worrying the servants. "Miss Cecilia Branford, the doctor said you shouldn’t now..."

Raising her hand, she interrupted the servant, "I have my own discretion."

After sitting down, Sophie leaned back on the sofa and called Thomas Shannon.

The phone went unanswered for a long time.

Finally, it was answered by Charlie River, "Young Madam, it’s Charlie River. Young Master is busy. He’ll call you back later."

"Charlie, tell me, what’s up with Thomas Shannon?"

Charlie was startled, glancing at Thomas Shannon lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut, letting the doctor inject him with medicine, he turned his gaze away. Charlie said, "Young Madam, Young Master is fine; don’t worry."

"What’s he busy with?"

"Recently, there’s a lot of public affairs within the Group; Young Master is too occupied to break away..."

Busy with public affairs?

That’s indeed a good excuse, but unfortunately, Sophie doesn’t believe it.

After a moment of contemplation, she spoke expressionlessly: "Tell him I’m not feeling well, and the child might..."

Sophie didn’t say the rest.

As for what she meant, Charlie could only guess.

Charlie’s heart sank abruptly; was the Young Madam unwell, and what was wrong with the child?

The child is Young Master’s heart and soul; if anything happens to the child, what will Young Master do?

"Young Madam, you..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Sophie had already hung up the phone. Charlie put down the mobile phone and, worried, approached the bedside, whispering: "Young Master, Young Madam said she’s unwell and mentioned the child might... be in danger."

The man lying with closed eyes gradually opened them, deep cold eyes lacking any warmth, "You said my child might be in danger?"

"Yes." Wasn’t that what Young Madam said?

The man’s facial color turned gloomy, as if enveloped in countless frost, "Dispatch a medical team there. My child cannot be at risk!"

Charlie understood how crucial the child was to Thomas Shannon. This child was eagerly anticipated, even as his memory is gradually fading...

But that fatherly love still hasn’t disappeared.

"Yes, Young Master, I’ll deploy a medical team for Young Madam’s pregnancy care."

......

The next day, the butler reported.

"Miss Cecilia Branford, there’s a group claiming to be a medical team sent by Thomas Shannon, saying they are here for pregnancy care. Would you like to let them in?" The butler cautiously observed Sophie’s facial color.

Not good!

Miss Cecilia Branford is angry!

Thomas Shannon sent the medical team out of concern for Miss Cecilia Branford; she should be pleased, but why does she have an icy expression without any response?

While the butler was still in doubt, Sophie sneered, her red lips curling into a mocking arc, "Send them back to where they came from; I, Cecilia Branford, am not lacking doctors!"
